COMMENTS FROM THE HEAD DESK...

 Perhaps my Christmas wishes to you all are best summed up by two of my favourite Christmas quotes...

firstly from Charles Dickens...

"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

... and secondly from Burton Hillis...

"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:  the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. "

May you all treasure the gift of friendship with our fellow 'man' and experience the joy of being wrapped up in family this Christmas!!! I look forward to catching up with you all in 2006 and sharing in our mutually successful endeavours...

Warmest Festive Regards, Deirdre

And from Denise ....

May the coming year be filled with simplicity, clarity, grace and beauty... and be sure to enjoy the celebrations to see this one out as well!!!
What with reflecting on my escapades (literally!!) re running away from Katrina (yes, of the hurricane variety)....re-reading "Finding Harmony on the Stormy Streets" , revisiting it again in The Bulletin Summer Reading edition just out... and then reviewing and making the decisions to really escalate aCE talentNET growth in 2006 and beyond... best I have a little rest now!!!
ho! ho! ho!

company is usually the talent level."

Eight Gifts that do not cost a cent...
1. The Gift of Listening...
but you must really listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.

2. The Gift of Affection...
Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for your family and friends.

3. The Gift of Laughter...
Clip cartoons.  Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say 
"I love to laugh with you".

4. The Gift of a Written Note...
It can be simple "Thanks for your help" note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.

5. The Gift of a Compliment...
A simple and sincere "You look great in red", "You did a super job" or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.

6. The Gift of a Favour...
Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

7. The Gift of Solitude...
There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those tomes and give the gift of solitude to others.

8. The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition...
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really its not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You. Friends are a rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Trends Spotting...

  • This look into the future will show you the hot jobs that are expected to have high demand and some that aren't. But more importantly this article will show you the basics of "trend spotting" so that you can make your own intelligent career choices.

OPPORTUNITIES...

  • To be eligible for up coming opportunities, please use this time to complete your online Consultant profile on the website. 
    This same profile forms the basis of our Affiliate Referral program, so be sure to be part of it.

  • With the introduction of our online database we are delighted to welcome a number of new Consultants to the aCE talentNET community have the past 12 months.  However this also highlights the issue that many of you have not accessed your details uploaded from our previous system, consequently contact and profile details are out of date.  This January, Denise and I will be undertaking a wholesale review of the database and for any records that have not been updated over the past 12 months will be removed.  Please use the Christmas/New Year downtime to update your details.  Don't despair if you have lost your password, simply logon to www.acetalentnet.com.au and request a new one be sent to you!  We look forward to seeing many of you update your details soon!!!

  • And don't forget to add your CV directly into the database for ease of updating and information data access.
